I can't share the opinion of Shareaza being leeching the Gnutella network. First, leecher do exist, that's no secret, but leechers are far less a problem that for example people that don't configure their firewall or router properly. I think firewalled clients are a much bigger problem.
|
Firewalls are definitly a problem, but being unfirewalled I know that when I click download from a LW source, it will begin to download shortly because of push proxies and that LW doesn't send query hits when it has an upload queue -meaning a result is downloadable as of now-. This can't be said of a shareaza source.

Shareaza cannot leech Gnutella more than G2, because the upload queues in Shareaza are not configurable to differ between Gnutella or G2 uploads
|
Fair. But users using G2 and gnutella on shareaza are getting downloads from two network, while users on gnutella only get a half of your upload bandwidth.

Also it's worth mentioning that many people don't use all of Shareaza's network at the same time. Many people (including me) use it exclusively with G2.
|
It should only be that way. It should be worth mentionning than the vast majority of shareaza users are using multinetworks simultaneously.

Last but not least, it's unfortunately true that Shareaza's support for Gnutella is outdated. This is being worked on.

I'm reading the shareaza's dev forums. Point me to a thread because it is simply not true. Only talk for now, as Mike himself doesn't feel Gnutella support is outdated.
I love the content you share but I would like to get it while you don't eat all my upload bandwidth. Usually, a source downloading from shareaza = 1-2KB/s which is way too low for a Gnutella source. Acceptable in ED2K world only.
Sorry but I can't understand the goal of a multinet app, except to get more popular at first. Shareaza has now more than 100 000 simultaneous users online, it can survive without my files and my bandwidth. Ares started at 1 000 simultaneous users early 2003. It now reaches 800 000 users simultaneous without being multinetwork.
